The last words grew fainter and faint
er as the dashing child of the gay world
was guided afOft, and when they had
quite died away the three people in the
second floor, front, laughed and forgot
their squabble.

the family, admiringly, always on the

promptly, "and he knows all the Van

in an awe-stricken whisper at the men

A few minutes later the little family
went downstairs to breakfast, the father
to plunge at once into his paper after a
surly good morning to the other board
ers, and the mother to yawn drearily
over her coffee. Little Katie sat bolt
upright in her chair piping shrill good

upstairs again, took her place at the key
hole of the door of the second floor-an
outcast from the only "home" she knew.
Presently she fell asleep, and then some
one coming out, stumbled over the little
figure crouching there, and she was sent
to bed. She made up her couch duti-
fully while the others shouted over the
points of five-cent ante, and, disrobing
behind a screen, went methodically to
bed amid cloud of cigarette and cigar
smoke and the tumble of strident voices.
For a time her big black eyes peered
over the screen, half hungrily, but she
received a hot reprimand from her father
at last, and sinking back on her pillow
she fell into troubled and uneasy
sleep.

WASHINGTON HOMES.
PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN COMFORT.
The Late Gen. Iourn's Famous Old House.
The Houses ~ Gnn'. sheridan and
IienT, --StFugE.


A correspondent Of the Chicago Daily
heies says:
Some of the finest houses in Washing
ton are owned and others quite as spa
ciOus are rented by Chicago people. The
Chicago colony here is receiving addi-
tiOns every year, and learn that Sidney
A. Kent and other wealthy men are in
tending to join it. Thirty Of the seventy
six senators own their own residences
here, among whom was the late Senator
Logan. His house, which was purchas-
ed two years ago, lies just outside the
boundaries of the city upon the crest Of
a ridge which oyerloOks one Of the finest
scenic panoTamas in the world. Ii is an
old house, and was occupied by family
by the name of Stone before the war.
From 1862 to the surrender it was used
as hospital, and has good many his
torical associations. While the house is
old, it was solidly constructed and will
last an age. The general paid $4,000
for it, and property has risen so much in
that locality that it can be sold now
for twice that sum. Several fine houses
have been built in the neighborhood
since he got the place, and it will con-
tinue to increase in value.
Gen. LOgan's old private secretary,
Daniel Shepard, has rented residence
in the same neighborhood, and if his
delicate health will endure this climate
he intends to reside here permanently.
There was report in the papers a
year or so ago that Senator Cullom had
purchased a piece of property near the
Logan mansion and was intending to
build upon it, but the only foundation
for the story was that the senator was
tempted one day by a real-estate agent
to look at some lots that were for sale,
and the fact was at once advertised to
attract other people to purchase.

SENATOR CULJoM's RESIDENCE


Last year Senator Cullom lived on
Rhode Island avenue, near Gen Sheri-
dan, but this winter he has rented a
house at the corner OF 18th and o streets,
belonging to Mr. w. p. Tisdel, who is
now down in the Argentine Republic
building railroad. 1t is a pretty place
on high terrace, and surrounded by a
large yard, but is small and not well
adapted to entertaining. Senator Sabin
occupied il two years ago. and now lives
ON the opposite corner.
Mr.. l.. u. Letter is living in the Blaine
mansion on Dupont circle, which he has
occupied for the last three years, and of
which he has lease for two years long
er. 1t is one of the largest houses in
Washington, and was built by Mr.. Blaine
when he became secretary of state, with
the expectation OF entertaining He only
occupied it for a few months, and was
glad to find n tenant of Mr. Letters
wealth to take it off his hands. As
everybody knows. the Letters are very
hOSpitablc, and during the season give a
reception or ball each week. Nobody
gives such lavish entertainments unless
il be the Whitncys, and the Letters are
very popular.
The house in which Gen. Sheridan
lives was presented to him by Marshall
Field, George NJ. Pullman, J. w. Doane,
and other of his Chicago friends when
be came here to take command of the
army. 1t stands on a terrace at the cor
ner of Rhode Island avenue and 18th
street, and is tasteful piece of archi-
lecture. Judge HOwells of the Court of
Alabama Claims built it, and lived in it
as long as he was in Washington. The
Sheridans have fitted it up in the most
picturesque style with Navajo blankets
and other relics of the generals life on
the plains, and the mementoes of the

war which are familiar to his friends in
Chicago show to great advantage.
The most elaborate house in Washing
ton, and perhaps the most expensive, be-
longs to John Hay, who can still be con-
sidered an IllinOisan, although he has
not lived in the state since he came here
as the private secretary of President
Lincoln. The house was designed by
Richardson, the famous Boston arChi-
tect, and he often said that it was the
most satisfactory piece of work he ever
did, as Mr.. Hay was man of his own
taste and did not care for the cost of the
structure. 1t stands at the corner of III
and 10th streets. fronting the white
house, which is just across Lafayette
square. The adjoining residence, which
was also designed by Mr. Richardson,
and was built at the same time and by
the same contractor, belongs to MIR.
Henry Adams, the youngest son of the
late Charles Francis Adams, and is quite
as picturesque as that of Mr.. Hay, al
though not so large and elaborate. The
Hay house is of brick, with gray sand
stone trimmings, very handsomely cary
ed, and the entrance is very much adj
mired. 1t has been illustrated in many
of the architectural papers, and appears
in all the recent guidebooks as a land
mark of the capital.

has just completed one of the prettiest

No WONDER HER HEAD AcHED.-For
two years pas; Annie schieldberger q, little
uiri living With her grandparents in Coud'
ersport, Pa, had almost constantly COM
planned of pains in her head, which at times
were so intense that she was almost
orazed. Blood poured from her nose
frequently. Physicians both there and else
where were called TO treat the child, oat
they could give her no relief, and were IN
able to tell what was the cause OF her trou:
BILE. On Wednesday night she seemed
worse than usual, and her shrieks could De
heard on the street. About midnight the
little girl cried out to her grandmother 70
come to her and see what was crawling 0ut
ri her ear. Mrs. Scheldberger ran to the
cbiid's bed, and by the light of her lamp
saw hideous. looking worm. resembling a
tnousapd legged worm, coming out ct the
child's ear. The@old lady was so fearful
tbs: the worm would draw back again that
sh. seized pair of scissors and cutit in two.
Th.t portion that was2 still in the ear drew
back, and the other fell on the bed. DR.:
Buck was called, and he got out the rest OF
the worm. The worm was over two iaches
in length. The child. who had been quite
deaf, has recovered her hearing, and the
pains bave left her head. She complains OF
great soreness in her head, and she will be
taken to Buffalo for treatment
